Notes & Tips #1 - Wireless communication 101

The first thing to keep in mind with outdoor wireless communication is that the radios need to see each other. Obstacles like trees, buildings and bins will block the signal. Intelliconn’s next generation wireless Ethernet and long-range Wi-Fi products compensate for this by allowing multiple radios to be connected, so can go over or around obstacles. This also allows you to hop, or repeat with multiple radios, in order to go long distances.

Wi-Fi works inside buildings because it can penetrate some building materials. In some buildings, however, multiple Wi-Fi access points are required.
